From BringBackMyYesterday: Roy Clark is Live in Branson here in the 1990s! With funny intro, too. Turn UP the volume & enjoy! ABOUT ROY'S GUITAR: "It's the deluxe version of the Breadwinner called the Deacon. Clear gloss finish on mahogany, Mother of Pearl inlay, fret board edge banding and one of the first production guitars with an on-board active pre-amp. Ovation built these between '73 and '84." --Info kindly shared by WhiteLantern in the Comments below.

Greatest compliment ever. They asked Jimmy Hendrix "What's it like being considered the greatest guitarist ever? His response, "Next time you see Roy Ckark, you should ask him".

He was great guitarist. When I was a senior in high school he came into the bank I worked in the afternoon. I just miss him. All the ladies had gotten his autograph Someone else who was a great musician was Glen Campbell. I saw him on a show once. He played the guitar, the banjo and the bagpipes. We are losing all the older stars in country music. Sad, but glad there are tapes to listen to.

I met Roy Clark at a rod and gun club once many years ago when I was a teenager when Roy was living in Maryland. He actually took the time to talk to this kid like I mattered, I'll never forget that experience, I still have his autograph from that day. The guys at the club weren't all that surprised to see Roy as he was a regular there, I about jumped out of my skin when I saw him drive up in this pristine old Ford, I believe it was a Ford Model A if I remember correctly. Just a down to earth wonderful guy that I was proud to meet and had the opportunity to shake his hand.
